cereal and pooping...
I started my 4 month old on rice cereal 2 weeks ago. Ever since she has started pooping 3-4 times a day...on formula only she was pooping 1 time a day. Do you think she is allergic? She isn't fussy or gass... just poopy!

The exact same thing happened with out son. He only went once a day on formula only so I was surprised because I had heard that cereal can constipate them. I just kept with it though and he evened out after a couple of weeks. He now goes 2 or 3 times a day consistently, but is completely comfortable, happy, and healthy.posted 02/09/2008 by lizzieb788
of course that's normal! my kid eats cereal out of the box and poops like...idk 3-4 times a day? so keep on feedin' and happy new year!posted 01/01/2010 by imasingleman
Yes it is normal to be "clogged" up from cereal. That is the most common side effect!posted 02/17/2008 by Deborah20023
I have just the opposite problem. My breastfed, four and a half month old, baby pooped like clockwork once a day. After starting cereal for a few weeks, he sturggles to poop twice a week! Is this normal? Plus, his poop is now hard and tarry, drak greenish color.posted 02/15/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Thank you! That makes me feel much better!posted 02/10/2008 by Deborah20023

Carnival Victory Cruise Review by Good Doc D: Mostly fantastic experience

Mostly fantastic experience
We avoided cruising with Carnival for many years because we wrongly believed that it was a step below other lines. Turns out, it's a fabulous experience, just less elegant and with a younger crowd.
Embarkation and debarkation were flawless. Staff was friendly (although not quite as helpful as I've seen before) and the cabin was always spotless and turned down for the night. The food is very good and there is something for everyone, although dinner was not quite as upscale as you will find on Celebrity or Princess. Yes, you get a lobster tail, but that is one tiny lobster. :-) Wait staff is excellent, with the exception of the table cleaners during the breakfast buffet. We had a hard time finding a clean table, which was ridiculous. The staff was extremely accomodating when we asked to change cabins due to engine noise. It took a couple days, but they happily moved us into an upgraded cabin that solved the problem and was much quieter. They couldn't have been nicer when it More
came to this request.
My only real complaint involved the two Asian singers who sang all over the ship - sometimes in the lobby bar, sometimes near the casino. The first time I heard them, I thought it was really bad karaoke. Then I realized that they were the paid talent, and this just blew me away. These two could not hit a note, didn't know the words to any of the songs, and literally la-la-la'd their way through the massacre of every song I used to like. My tablemates and I made a joke of it - where would they show up next, was the person who hired them thrown overboard? With the other strong talent on the ship, this was the one low point. Carnival needs to rethink their prominent position and time on the ship.
One other note about this ship compared to others - people do not dress as they should for the restaurant, and the dress code is not enforced. This was disappointing and took away from the elegance of the ship.
What can I say about the ports? They are exquisite and each one offers a lovely experience. In St. Lucia, book an excursion with Cosol Tours and enjoy all the food, rum punch, and lengthy tour around the island. In Barbados, I booked a motorboat snorkeling tour with Tristan at Powerboats Barbados. We had him all to ourselves so it was like a custom tour and could not have been better. We saw some of the big operations and there were tons of people all trying to squeeze in with the turtles. I highly recommend this option instead. In St. Kitts and St. Martin we took a taxi to a beach and just enjoyed the beauty. You really can't beat either of those islands when it comes to beaches. Be sure to give your taxi driver a time to pick you up. They will put you with other couples so that you can share the expense of the trip, and it is quite a cheap way to spend the day. Less

Here's an idea you might try: Find a local photographer who shoots the night sky
I just love astronomy. I tried to work astronomy into my Focus pages every once in a while in California.
Remembering that, perhaps, Philip Maramba – managing editor of the Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail – shares something really cool his paper ran on Friday.
He tells us:
Our photographer, Tom Hindman, spends a lot of time outdoors and churns out wonderful nature images on Facebook and his blog. In particular, his starscapes from various points around West Virginia draw plenty of oohs and ahhs on social media and drew the attention of our features editor, Billy Wolfe, himself a photographer as well.
With the weather finally warming up, Billy thought it would be a neat idea to interview Tom to share some tips on how to get good starry sky photos.
One of the photos inspired Billy to see if we could incorporate it into the nameplate to promote the feature. We set our graphic artist, Kevin Cade, to thinking on it and, well, you can see the results. Everyone seemed pretty happy with it.
The story is full of really good tips for readers who have access to nice equipment and would like to try their hand at some amateur astronomy. Read the story here and see if there's anything you might take away to do your own version with a star shooter in your own neck of the woods.
Average daily circulation for the Charleston Daily Mail is 17,879.

Re: Is Cumberbatch playing Colonel Green?
IMDB is not reliable when it comes to movies in development. People post info based on rumors and speculation. Heck, the IMDB page for The Dark Knight Rises had Matthew Modine playing a character named "Nixon" forever, when the script always refered to him as "Foley." It had the name of Selina's sidekick wrong, too. I've written enough movie novelizations to know that IMDB is not to be trusted until the movie actually opens. And "close to release"? It's barely December. The movie is more than six months away . . . .

Sevii Island passes
The Sevii Island passes are the passes that are required to travel around the Sevii Islands in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
The Tri-Pass (Japanese: トライパス Tri-Pass) is a key item featured in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. It allows the player to travel to the first three Sevii Islands.
Location and uses
The Tri-Pass is given to the player by Celio when they arrive at Knot Island's Pokémon Network Center on the ship with Bill. The pass allows the player to travel via the Seagallop Ferry between the first three islands in the Sevii Islands: Knot Island, Boon Island, and Kin Island. It is required by the player to complete the story that is set on the island. During this story, the player can only travel between these three islands. After completion, the player can travel to any one of the three from Vermilion City's port, and back again.
Flavor text
Rainbow Pass
The Rainbow Pass (Japanese: レインボーパス Rainbow Pass) is a key item featured in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. It is the successor to the Tri-Pass, giving the player access to the remaining Sevii Islands, including the islands previously accessible. It features a rainbow-shape pattern on the card.
Location and uses
The Rainbow Pass is given to the player by Celio after being asked for the Sapphire at One Island. The pass allows the player to travel via the Seagallop Ferry to the remaining Sevii Islands. Celio will let the player keep the Rainbow Pass afterwards.
Flavor text
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
At the beginning of the FireRed & LeafGreen chapter, Red and Blue each received a Tri-Pass left to them by Professor Oak, which they used to first board the Seagallop Ferry to the Sevii Islands. In My, My, My Mimic, they each obtained a Rainbow Pass sent to them by Bill, using them to board the Seagallop Ferry to Four Island.
Due to having already traveled to the Sevii Islands in order to catch Moltres on Mt. Ember, Green had obtained her Tri-Pass and Rainbow Pass before the beginning of the chapter.

Eight is NEVER Enough's Improv Study Guides QUESTIONS Too often, new improvisers (and some older) waste precious time asking questions. Most often a question is an act of laziness and forces your scene partner to do all the work. Remember our scene in the pet shop? Player One: What is that? Player Two: That�s a dog. Player One: What color is it? Player Two: It�s brown. Player One: Can I buy it? Player Two: Sure. We learn something about scene, but this is not that interesting and far less information than the original. Very little exchange off information and the audience is not given anything exciting. Turn your question into a statement OR supply a statement that answers you question. EXERCISE: THE QUESTION GAME Perform a scene where every play can only speak using questions. (VARIATION � When a player messes up, replace player with teammate) BLOCKS/DENIAL The worst thing you can do in Improvisation is to say �NO!� or say or do something that implies �NO!� Sometimes you will get a cheap laugh, but you always kill the forward motion of the scene. Improvisers often call this �Selling out your teammate.� Now lets see a player block the other player in the same scene: Player One: I really like that brown-haired dog best. Player Two: Um that's not a dog. That's a unicorn. You might get a laugh from this but the scene has nowhere to go. Instead of agreeing with PLAYER ONE, PLAYER TWO negated everything for the cheap laugh. Now we have a scene about what the animal is, learning nothing about the characters, location or situation. EXERCISE: �NO! But�� � Play the same games from the �YES! And�� but now start every statement with �NO! But�� You will quickly see how difficult it is to tell a story or perform a scene.

SALEM Ore. The Oregon Restaurant Association and other business groups last week lobbied in support of proposed state legislation that would have halted automatic inflation-based minimum wage increases. But despite their efforts, the bill is not expected to proceed, and the state's minimum wage will continue to rise based on inflation rates. In public hearings here last week, restaurant association officials argued that the state's high minimum wage is partly to blame for Oregon's ...

Nice looking figure for the people who want him, but still meh for me...
Epic Metal music rocks the universe.
Shirt is too bulky, restricting movement and to make it look even worse, he has a small head. Ugh!

Fang Man has a bulky shirt and I am ok with it. I will have to wait and see with Sea Hawk.
A majority has consitently been fine with bulky shirts as A+ Perfect. No need to change if the majority is happy.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
Well...he looks...okay?
The head does seem small...the blue pieces seem to hang too low on his chest...the shirt is definitely a bit too bulky...and I'm bummed we aren't getting the traditional yellow laser sword (love it's hilt) as the photon cutlass is rather dull, design-wise.
But the shield looks great, the details on the boots are nice. Overall, good stuff, and hopefully the finished version will look better
His expression is waaay too serious though. I was hoping for some smirk...

Looks great!! Glad he has been confirmed. Really liking all of these Filmation characters, glad they were able to add them, because it really fills out the missing pieces of the line.
I have always wanted Seahawk...helps provide more males to the POP Great Rebellion. I am holding my final judgement though until I can see more pictures. In these 2 pictures he seems....bloated is the best word I can come up with.
No, you're right - he seems like he's holding his breath and sucking in his stomach...it's the facial expression and the chest piece.
Now that's a good lookin' figure! I'll have to look up some episodes with him in it; I don't think I've ever seen him in action. Great looking toy, though! Jacket is a little bulky, but hey, some jackets are! Guy probably needs to be warm if he's out on the sea. I love his tech items! Looks like a guy who has plundered some useful items over the years.

Awesome, I knew he was coming, so glad he looks so damn good, and so much like his character model.
I do agree the chest is huge....they could sometimes do a non removable armor / shirt....especially if it helps to thin the figure out....but whatever.
Only a few reused pieces, now you know why Nepthu was so plain ass, and why Batros and Shokoti only have one accessory. About time to see so many new pieces again.
I hope that they have a killer amount for panel....I'll bet they do, since these are just this years figures, and not even all of them. We still have at least 4 or 5 2014 initial figures to be revealed yet....
Besides, we already knew about Geldor coming back at last years sub time....we voted, so we knew. Other than that, we've yet to see another unknown actual Eternia sub figure....correct? It's all been Filmation sub related, plus Sky High.
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....

Check out the two-part Anchor's Aloft saga for the story behind some of his costume details...or just start from his first episode onwards! You can't go wrong!Now that's a good lookin' figure! I'll have to look up some episodes with him in it; I don't think I've ever seen him in action.

Sea Hawk looks great.

OMG SEA HAWK!!!!! He looks so perfect! He will finally join Adora! Sea Hawk, Kowl and Loo-Kee! I'm crying!!!! I'm so happy! I guess it's a good thing I couldn't make it to SDCC...I'd be a mess!

Great Scot! He looks great. Is he coming to the filmation sub? If yes, then I wont have any difficulty selling him off.
Stupid expanding after prototype armor. I also liked the black boot look better, and didn't even realize he had 2 different looks! Also seems to be missing his sabre holster. Just too much brown..I was looking forward to Seahawk, now he is just some other figure that is meh. I think I like Geldor better and I don't care about him.

Your Third Degree section.
The hook of this cleverly-titled effort is that the girls each give head to some guys and swallow the cum before they go on to get fucked in the ass by other guys. Director Chris Streams shoots it well, as always.
Cover girl Roxy Jezel looks hot with silver butt beads in, and she gives head like it's her new religion - must be that Orgasmic Oralist XRCO win. Sandra Romain's anal with Chris Charming is her standard great stuff and an overly accessorized Jasmine Byrne's anal scene is also good.

FSU International Film Series Launches with "Real Women Have Curves"
Ana Garcia, played by America Ferrera, spends the summer after her high school graduation torn between her duty to her strict mother Carmen, played by Lupe Ontiveros, and other pleasures and urgent issues – the top of the list is trying to break away from her family ties in East Los Angeles. Carmen wants Ana to work in a dress factory, run by Ana's shy older sister. Ana is disgusted with the work and would much rather apply for a scholarship to Columbia University. It's an age-old battle between a mother's irrationality and a teenager's willfulness.
"Real Women Have Curves" won the Dramatic Audience Award at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.
Other films scheduled for this semester include: - "West Beirut" on Tuesday, Oct. 21. - "Time of Harvey Milk" on Tuesday, Nov. 18. - "Shower" on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
All film showings are free and open to the public. For information, contact the Lane University Center Information Desk at 301-687-4411.
FSU is committed to making all of its programs, services and activities accessible to persons with disabilities. You may request accommodations through the ADA Compliance Office at 301-687-4102, TDD 301-687-7955.

Written by JB Williams
The recent CPAC conference and poll is beyond disturbing. It's downright frightening…
CPAC is allegedly a political action committee of, by and for "conservative" political operatives. But you won't be able to prove that by the results of the most recent meeting, which resulted in 2016 Presidential support for Libertarian Rand Paul and constitutionally ineligible Ted Cruz, a Cuban from Canada.
Clearly, current members of CPAC, like current members of the Republican National Committee (RNC), have totally lost sight of what it is to be a "conservative." When even the conservative PACs are promoting non-conservatives and ineligible candidates, how in the hell can anyone take a serious stab at electing a real American conservative today?
I'm afraid we are witnessing the final gasp of the once Grand Ole Party in America. Although a vast majority of Americans identify themselves as "conservatives," a shrinking number of those people identify with America's alleged conservative party, the Republican Party.
According to a recent Pew Research survey, "staunch conservatives" believe the following…
Extremely critical of the federal government
Favor peace through strength and active foreign engagement
Pro-business; against stricter environmental laws and regulations
Strongly opposed to abortion and same-sex marriage
Convinced the 2010 health care law will be bad for the country
View [illegal] immigrants as a threat to traditional American customs and values
According to survey results, only 9% of respondents were "staunch conservatives" on this basis.
· 84% of them are registered Republicans
· 72% tend to agree with Tea Party rhetoric
· 61% are over age 50
· 56% are financially stable, married, males
· 57% own guns and attend church
· 54% watch FOX News regularly
An even more critical question is how do you save a Constitutional Republic without electing staunch conservatives, at a time in history when morally and ethically sound Constitutional Republicans are in short supply, and demonized by the other 91% of the politically active?
55% believe government is an efficient solution, not the problem
31% believe in peace through weakness and global appeasement
39% believe government should control private earnings and return on investment
39% believe we need stricter environmental protection laws
51% believe the government can't afford more social spending
27% believe ObamaCare is good for the country
71% claim religion an important part of their lives
38% believe the USA is no longer the best country in the world
39% believe immigrants threaten America today
At a time when America is more politically divided than ever, and an increasing number of citizens are dependent upon some form of government subsidy, can our Constitutional Republic be saved via an election process that is less reliable than the purple fingers of Iraq?
Political divisions are not at all unusual in America. They have existed since the beginning when Federalists and Anti-Federalists went at it over the creation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Much more dangerous are the clear divisions inside the GOP, Americas "conservative" party. The recent CPAC event shines a bright light on those divisions, wherein a "conservative" PAC can't even identify or advance a true conservative from within.
The GOP has been trying to overcome the RINO faction running the RNC for years now, without much success. That divide in the party left the door open for the libertarian movement to enter the battle for GOP power.
Both are extremely critical of the federal government today, but for different reasons
Both are economically conservative, in principles only
Both are pro-business, although libertarians are highly anti-corporation
Both want limited government and lower taxes
However, they disagree on the following…
They disagree on social issues, abortion, same-sex marriage, marijuana, etc.
They disagree on freedom of vs. freedom from religious expression
They disagree on foreign policy
They disagree on strong vs. weak national security
They disagree on Constitutional text
They disagree on immigration, including illegal immigration and amnesty
They disagree on upholding the entire Constitution vs. certain pieces only
They disagree on monetary policy
They disagree on America's role in the world
Among other items…
The point being that there is actually very little that modern libertarians and conservatives agree on. As a result, the two are in a battle to seize control of the GOP, away from the RINO RNC "go along to get along" faction of the party.
The end result is a totally divided opposition to the Democratic Socialists currently driving the nation off a cliff, soon to result in a national collapse, at best.
Assuming that we could identify and recruit a REAL conservative with success on their résumé to run in 2016, is there any chance they could win in these conditions? I honestly don't see how…
We have learned in the past that libertarians will only vote for their own kind… That many evangelicals would not vote for a Mormon… That RINOs will advance the most RINO candidate via the primary process designed to lock both true conservatives and libertarians out of the race…
In this condition, the "opposition party" is no real opposition at all. The Democratic Socialists could win the 2016 presidential election with no more than 40% of the popular vote, as the other 60% of voters are completely divided and impotent to overcome the enemy.
JB Williams is a business man, a husband, a father, and a writer. A no nonsense commentator on American politics, American history, and American philosophy. He is published nationwide and in many countries around the world. He is also a Founder of The United States Patriots Union and a staunch conservative actively engaged in returning the power to the right people in America.

For many, times are still tough and jobs are few, but one young woman is using her history in the fashion industry and one of Placerville's hidden commodities to help support a growing family. Becky Carter, wife and mother, began selling "vintage" clothes at e-commerce venue, Etsy.com, and in her previous Sacramento storefront, Velvet Leaf, as a hobby to supplement income from her sustainable, handmade clothing. Now, it is Carter's unique eye for vintage clothes that puts her on the map in the fashion world, selling thrift in bulk to major retail outlets under her new brand, Black Sheep, in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and New York City.

Placerville native and resident Becky Carter has had her original clothing featured in such media as Lucky, Teen Vogue, Nylon, and on The View and traveled as far as India to support her previous clothing venture with sister, Laura. The two focused on making organic, sustainable, and responsible clothing fashionable.
"When I see new clothes on a sale rack, the first thing in my mind is how can that be only $10?" Carter said, citing from firsthand experience the complexity of clothing manufacture, the cost of materials, and the expense of retailing.
According to Carter, new inexpensive clothes are a product of cheap labor overseas, heavy pesticide use, and low margins, but more socially conscious garments are not as fashionable as she would like to see. Velvet Leaf boasted a unique line of clothes often using silk and cotton untouched by herbicides and pesticides and sourced everything they could from American markets to support national industry. After a successful run at manufacturing and retailing ethical attire, the Carter sisters were met with an economic downturn that would threaten the viability of their livelihood. Their answer: "thrifting."
"In a day and age where everything is mass-produced and everyone looks like everyone else, you strive to have individuality. In buying vintage clothes you get to have a unique look," Carter said about her passion for old fashion.
"I like to imagine who wore this and what they were doing in it. I think there is something exciting about that. People get to feel like they are from a different time. Like they are from the '60s or from even the Renaissance era. It makes you more of an individual."
Carter described thrifting as a fun way for anyone to grow their wardrobe ethically, inexpensively, and fashionably, but to make a living in the industry is a bit harder to achieve. Almost a year ago, Carter got a call from an Urban Outfitters affiliate called Project Urban Renewal that had found her through her online store. Though Carter moved back to Placerville to start her family, being in the foothills would prove to be the perfect place for the untapped resource of thrift store clothes.
"I like to shop local, so the money I make from Los Angeles and New York goes straight into our local economy," Carter said, "and I am happy to support our local thrift stores because most are charitable organizations."
Carter specifically mentioned the chain of Snowline Hospice thrift stores as some of her favorite shopping. Snowline Hospice is a nonprofit that provides "end-of-life" support and medical care with a stated mission of "enhance the living, comfort the dying and support the grieving with compassion and dignity." It uses income from its six thrift stores to support its mission.
When asked about the current style in Los Angeles and New York, Carter said, "Right now, the grunge look is really in: denim jackets, vintage leather, and lace."
As a general tip, Carter recommends, "Pair your favorite basics with a vintage piece. Mix a little old with a little new." You can reach Becky Carter at her office, 419 Main Street, Ste. 300, Placerville, or through [email protected]

Wink Hartman Sr. hopes to open Jimmy's Egg near Tanya's Soup Kitchen
WICHITA — Businessman and Jimmy's Egg franchisee Wink Hartman Sr. is looking to open one of the restaurants in the same building as Tanya's Soup Kitchen in the Sunburst Plaza at 1725 E. Douglas.
"We are looking at a location there, and hopefully we'll be moving forward to have a Jimmy's Egg there in the near future," he says. "We're trying to slowly move towards the downtown."
Hartman says he thinks there's room for another breakfast and lunch place in the area, where the Donut Whole is also across the street.
"It's an underserved market for the type of menu we present," Hartman says. "We serve ample quality food for the price."
Hartman isn't ready to commit to downtown yet, but he's interested – and not necessarily for a restaurant.
"I've always had an interest in downtown," he says. "I grew up here, and downtown is an unfortunate situation with all the empty storefronts. There's a lot of empty storefronts going up and down Douglas. Has been for 40 years."
About Carrie Rengers
Carrie Rengers joined The Eagle's Business team in 2002 despite her inability to even balance a checkbook. Fortunately for her, and readers, her Have You Heard? blog is about business scoops and contains lots of news but almost no math.
A Michigan native, Carrie's father was quite tragically transferred to Little Rock, Ark., in the middle of her sophomore year of high school. To make matters worse, her parents put her in a girls school. She recovered, though, and went on to enjoy being an English major at Hendrix College (the Harvard of the Ozarks, don't you know). She worked for the weekly Arkansas Business and the statewide daily Arkansas Democrat-Gazette before moving to Wichita to be with her favorite writer and cook, husband Joe Stumpe.

These little guys are a little bit bad for you, and I don't care. I'm not referring to the recipe, I think that's pretty healthy. They're vegetables so they must be healthy, right? Well yes, as long as you don't cook them in a pound of butter so that you can get a photo of them bubbling away in the pan.
These sweet potato fritters are from a new cookbook I found at Old Faithful last week. I'm determined to make every recipe in it. The book's called Plenty by Ottolenghi and has some of the most beautiful photography and tastiest looking recipes I've seen in ages.
I've made some changes to this recipe since it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I wanted crispy, and the original recipe was more squishy. It was time to bring out the Panko.
What's with that stuff anyway? I swear it has a never-fail ability to create perfect crunchy texture on anything and everything. And who doesn't love crunchiness?
Make sure you don't cook the yams too long, they're better if they have just a little bit of texture to them still.
- 2¼ lbs sweet potatoes or yams
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- ½ red chilli, finely chopped (more if you want it spicier)
- Butter, for frying
- ½ panko (or more as needed)
- Sauce: 6 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Grated zest from ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste

Jaffurs Thompson Vineyard Syrah 2007
Syrah/Shiraz from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
The 2007 Thompson Vineyard Syrah, has gripping tannin, powerful fruit forward flavors. More tannic than in 2006, it has flavors of spiced candy cherries with hints of sweet tar and tobacco. Cedar and chocolate mint aromas are beginning to emerge. It has Thompson's classic candy quality that clings to your glass and sticks to your lips. Made using two new French, two new American and older barrels.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The sensational 2007 Syrah Thompson Vineyard's dense purple color is followed by a big, sweet kiss of melted road tar, tobacco leaf, chocolate, pepper, underbrush, blackberry, and cassis. This unfined/unfiltered Syrah, which spent 14 months in French barrels, is one of the most forward of these Syrahs. " -
International Wine Cellar - "Inky purple. Smoked meat, raspberry and singed cherries on the nose, with suave notes of Asian spices and violet. A bright but deeply concentrated wine, with a silky texture, zesty red berry flavors and a late note of candied flowers. Becomes livelier with air and finishes with gentle grip and impressive persistence. This wine is balanced to age." -
Wine Spectator - "Rustic and earthy, dense and concentrated, with a leathery road tar edge to the dried dark berry flavors. Distinctive and potent, this packs in lots of flavor, framed by sturdy tannins. Drink now through 2017. 344 cases made. " - View All
Jaffurs Wine Cellars Winery
Jaffurs Wine Cellars is dedicated to producing great Rhône varietal wines with a new-world independence. It is one of the newest wineries in Santa Barbara County. Owner/winemaker Craig Jaffurs, working out of the Central Coast Wine Warehouse in Santa Maria, produced his first wines during the 1994 harvest. During the 1999 harvest, production increased to 2500 cases including Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier, and Roussanne. View all Jaffurs Wine Cellars Wines About Central Coast
View a map of Central Coast wineriesThe largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable Facts
Grape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.About California
It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Modesto News: Councilman Cogdill won't seek re-election
Councilman Dave Cogdill Jr. says he will not run for a second term in the November 2015 election.
He said he wants to direct more of his time to his family and business. Cogdill and his wife are the parents of two teenagers, and he and his uncle Jim Cogdill own Cogdill & Associates, a real estate appraisal firm specializing in commercial, industrial and agricultural properties.
Cogdill, 43, said he is announcing his decision to give potential candidates enough time to prepare if they decide to run for his 6th Council District seat, which encompasses northeast Modesto. He said he will continue to find ways to serve the community when he no longer is on the council.
Cogdill has served the city well. He asks smart questions and focuses on the city making fiscally prudent decisions. But in recent months, he and other council members have come under fire for their land-use decisions, especially the decision to include Wood Colony – the farming community west of Highway 99 – in the city's growth plans.
The city is moving forward with its plans to put College Avenue from Needham Street to Briggsmore Avenue on what is called a "road diet," which is a traffic-calming technique used nationwide to slow and improve the flow of traffic, reduce crashes, and make streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Last week, city officials held their second forum on the proposal at a College Area Neighborhood Alliance meeting, which drew more than 70 people. Though about a half-dozen audience members were skeptical, Modesto senior planner Josh Bridegroom said CANA leaders told the city that they and the majority of their members support the proposal.
Bridegroom said Modesto Junior College officials also are supportive.
College is four lanes from Needham to Briggsmore and has street parking on both sides nearly all the way. The diet consists of changing the lane markings so there would be one lane in each direction for cars and a center lane for left turns.
The city would use the space from reducing four traffic lanes to three to create more room for cars parked along the street, a 6-foot-wide bike lane on each side of the street and a 21/2- or 3-foot buffer between the bike lanes and traffic.
Bridegroom said the next step is for city officials to present the proposal before the City Council's Safety & Communities Committee. He added that it's possible officials may bring the proposal before the full council.
He said Modesto is considering converting College Avenue in late spring or early summer after classes are out at MJC. This would be done in conjunction with a project to resurface College Avenue. More about road diets and the city's proposal can be found at www.modestogov.com/ced.

Like its sister General Motors divisions, Buick produced its own family of V8 engines to replace its straight-8 engines. Some of these engines had the same displacement numbers as those from other divisions, but were entirely different engines.
Buick "Nailhead V8"[edit]
Buick's first generation of V8 was offered from 1953 through 1956. It was an OHV/pushrod engine like the then new Oldsmobile "Rocket V8" engine. This engine became known as the "Nailhead" for the unusual vertical position of its small-sized valves, which were derisively compared to nails since their head diameter is smaller than other comparable displacement engines of the same era.[1] The Nailhead V8 family used a camshaft with greater lift and duration to offset the smaller-sized valves and arguably restrictive intake- and exhaust-port diamaters. The small-diameter intake runners allowed these engines to develop high torque, with many exceeding one foot-pound per cubic inch, which was exceptional for the day.
NOTE: The Buick V-8 was originally called the "Nail Valve" by early hot rodders because the valves looked like nails since the stems were so long and the heads were small. At some point "Nail Valve" got replaced by "Nailhead."
The 264 cu in (4.3 L) 264 was a direct replacement for the 263 straight-8 in Series 40 Buicks. It was produced in 1954 and 1955. It was the smallest displacement Nailhead, and the only engine available for the economy "Special" Series 40 through 1955. The 264 ( Bore 3.625" ) is a small bore version of the 322, sharing stroke and deck height.
The larger 322 cu in (5.3 L) 322 was used by Buick from 1953 through 1956 in the Roadmaster, Super and Century models, and finally in the Special in 1956. It had a bore of 4.00" and a stroke of 3.20".
Nailhead V8[edit]
Buick's second variation of this V8 has also been called the Nailhead. It was produced from 1957-1966.
The 364 was introduced in 1957. The Special came standard with 2bbl carb and 250 hp, where all others had the 4bbl, 300 hp engine. Buick, like most of its competitors, continued to expand their durable V8 engine to larger displacements, such as the 364 in³ (4.125in bore)x(3.40in stroke)= 364 cubic inches (6.0 L).
The next member of the family was the 401 cu in (6.6 L) 400. This was actually a 401 that had been later redesignated a "400" to meet GM directives for maximum displacement engines in mid-size cars.
Another even later Buick "400" engine was a member of the 400/430/455 family and was produced from 1967-1969.
The 401 cu in (6.6 L) 401 was Buick's big-car and later midsized muscle car powerplant (relabeled '400', see above) of choice, used in the company's Skylark Gran Sport and Buick Wildcat, among others. As unlikely as it seems, the air cleaner for the engine is labeled "Wildcat 375", "Wildcat 410" "Wildcat 445"; these monickers indicated not the cubic-inch displacement but the foot-pounds of torque produced by the engine. The "Wildcat 410" was the 2-barrel carbureted engine that was standard on the 1962-63 LeSabre. The "Wildcat 375" was a no-cost option for the '62-'63 LeSabre that had lower compression to run on regular (lower-octane) fuel. (The 4-barrel version of the '66-'67 small-block Buick 340 V8 was also labeled "Wildcat 375" on its air cleaner but was not a true "Nailhead".)
The "Wildcat 445", with a single 4-barrel carburetor, was the standard engine in the Invicta, 1959-66 Electra, 1962–66 Buick Wildcat, 1963 Riviera and 1965 Riviera (the '64 and '66 Riviera models used the 425 with a single 4-barrel carburetor, labeled "Wildcat 465", as standard equipment). The Buick 401s were also used as starter motors for the SR-71 Blackbird, mounted on a trolley.
In an effort to overcome the "restrictive" exhaust-port design, Buick drag racing enthusiasts in the 1960s adapted superchargers with a custom camshaft to feed intake air in through the exhaust ports and used the larger intake ports for exhaust outlets. Perhaps this feat of ingenuity, and the unusual appearance of the engine modified in this manner, also intimidated rival racers and contributed to the Nailhead V8 legend in US auto history.
The 425 cu in (7.0 L) 425 was the largest-displacement version of the Nailhead. It began as an option in 1963 for the Riviera and was later available on the Wildcat and Electra models. The 1964 and 1966 Riviera used the 425 engine as standard equipment.
Four-barrel carburetion was standard on all 425 Nailheads, called "Wildcat 465" (see note above, on 401). For the 1965 Riviera Gran Sport and the 1966 Wildcat GS, the "Super Wildcat" regular production option ("RPO") Y48 included two four-barrel (4BBL) carburetors and the intake manifold, which were delivered in the car's trunk, to be installed by the dealer. Toward the end of the 1966 model year, in approximately May 1966, Buick offered the Super Wildcat 465 with dual 4BBL Carter AFB carburetors as a factory-installed option. This engine is coded "MZ", while the dealer-installed dual four-barrel setup was coded "MW". Only 179 1966 Riviera GS cars were built with the MZ factory dual 4BBL setup, making it a very rare car.
Buick "Small-Block"[edit]
In 1961, Buick unveiled an entirely new small V8 engine with aluminum cylinder heads and cylinder block. Lightweight and powerful, the aluminum V8 also spawned a turbocharged version, (only in the 1962-63 Oldsmobile Cutlass version), the first ever offered in a passenger car. It became the basis of a highly successful cast iron V6 engine, the Fireball. The all-aluminum V8 engine was dropped after the 1963 model year, but was replaced with very similar cast-iron-block/aluminum-head version for one year, and then in all-iron versions.
- See also Rover V8 engine
GM experimented with aluminum engines starting in the early 1950s. Alcoa (Aluminum Company of America) was pushing all automakers to use more aluminum. An early-development supercharged version of the 215-cubic-inch (3.5 L) V8 was used in the 1951 Le Sabre concept car,[2] and the 1953 Buick Roadmaster concept car, and work on a production unit commenced in 1956. Originally intended for 180-cubic-inch (2.9 L) displacement, Buick was designated by GM as the engine design leader, and decided to begin with a larger, 215-cubic-inch (3.5 L) size, which was deemed ideal for the new "senior compact cars" introduced for the 1961 model year. This group of cars was commonly referred to as the "B-O-P" group — for Buick-Olds-Pontiac — or the Y-bodies.
Known variously as the Fireball and Skylark by Buick (and as Rockette, Cutlass, and Turbo-Rocket by Oldsmobile),[3] the 215 had a 4.24 in (108 mm) bore spacing, a bore of 3.5 in (89 mm), and a stroke of 2.8 in (71 mm), for an actual displacement of 215.5 cu in (3,531 cc). At the time the engine was the lightest mass-production V8 in the world, with a dry weight of only 318 lb (144 kg). Measuring 28 in (71 cm) long, 26 in (66 cm) wide, and 27 in (69 cm) high (same as the small-block Chevy),[4] it became standard equipment in the 1961 Buick Special.
Oldsmobile and Pontiac each used an all-aluminum 215 on its mid-sized cars, the Oldsmobile F-85, Cutlass and Jetfire, and Pontiac Tempest and LeMans. Pontiac used the Buick version of the 215; Oldsmobile had its own. The Oldsmobile version of this engine, although sharing the same basic architecture, had cylinder heads and angled valve covers designed by Oldsmobile engineers to look like a traditional Olds V8 and was produced on a separate assembly line. Among the differences between the Oldsmobile from the Buick versions, it was somewhat heavier, at 350 lb (160 kg). The major design differences were in the cylinder heads: Buick used a 5-bolt pattern around each cylinder where Oldsmobile used a 6-bolt pattern. The 6th bolt was added to the intake manifold side of the head, one extra bolt for each cylinder, meant to alleviate a head-warping problem on high-compression versions. This meant that Oldsmobile heads would fit on Buick blocks, but not vice versa. Changing the compression ratio on an Oldsmobile 215 required changing the heads, but on a Buick 215, only the pistons, which was less expensive and simpler. For that reason, the more common Buick version (which looks like a traditional Buick vertical valve cover 'nailhead' V8) has today also emerged as more desirable to some. But the Olds wedge-shaped/quench combustion chambers/pistons are more compatible with modern low-octane/low-lead motor fuels than the Buick 'hemisperical'-shaped combustion chambers and domed pistons. Later Rover versions of the aluminum block and subsequent Buick iron small blocks (300 with aluminum, then iron heads, 340 and 350 with iron heads) went to a 4-bolt-per-cylinder pattern.
At introduction, Buick's 215 was rated 150 hp (110 kW) at 4400 rpm. This was raised soon after introduction to 155 hp (116 kW) at 4600 rpm. 220 lb·ft (298 N·m) of torque was produced at 2400 rpm with a Rochester 2GC (DualJet) two-barrel carburetor and 8.8:1 compression ratio. A mid-year introduction was the Buick Special Skylark version, which had 10.00:1 compression and a four-barrel carburetor, raising output to 185 hp (138 kW) at 4800 rpm and 230 lb·ft (312 N·m) at 2800 rpm.
For 1962, the four-barrel engine increased the compression ratio to 10.25:1, raising it to 190 hp (140 kW) at 4800 rpm and 235 lb·ft (319 N·m) at 3000 rpm. The two-barrel engine was unchanged. For 1963, the four-barrel was bumped to 11:1 compression and an even 200 hp (150 kW) at 5000 rpm and 240 lb·ft (325 N·m) at 3200 rpm, a respectable 0.93 hp/cu in (56.6 hp/L).
Unfortunately, the great expense of the aluminum engine led to its cancellation after the 1963 model year. The engine had an abnormally high scrap ratio due to hidden block-casting porosity problems, which caused serious oil leaks. Another problem was clogged radiators from antifreeze mixtures incompatible with aluminum. It was said that one of the major problems was because the factory had to make extensive use of air gauging to check for casting leaks during the manufacturing process and was unable to detect leaks on blocks that were as much as 95% complete. This raised the cost of complete engines to more than that of a comparable all cast-iron engine. Casting-sealing technology was not advanced enough at that time to prevent the high scrap rates.
The Buick 215's very high power-to-weight ratio made it immediately interesting for automotive and marine racing. Mickey Thompson entered a stock-block Buick 215-powered car in the 1962 Indianapolis 500. From 1946-1962, there had not been a single stock-block car in this race series. In 1962, the Buick 215 was the only non-Offenhauser powered entry in the field of 33 cars. Rookie driver Dan Gurney qualified eighth and raced well for 92 laps before retiring with transmission problems.
Surplus engine blocks of the Oldsmobile (6-bolt-per-cylinder) version of this engine formed the basis of the Australian Formula One Repco V8 used by Brabham to win the 1966 Formula One world championship. No other American stock-block engine has won a Formula One championship.
Rights to these engines were purchased by the British Rover Company and used in the 1967 Rover P5B that replaced the 3 L straight six Rover engined P5. Throughout the years, the Rover Co., which became part of British Leyland in 1968, and its successor companies constantly improved the engine making it much stronger and reliable. Capacities ranged from 3.5-5.0 L (215 to 307 in³). This engine was used for V8 versions of the MGB-GT known as the MGB GTV8. This came straight from the MG works at Abingdon-on-the-Thames. Rover also used the engine in the 1970 Range Rover which saw the engine successfully returning to the USA after the Range Rover's 1986 introduction. American Buick 215s have also been engine swapped into countless other platforms, especially Chevrolet Vegas and later British cars MG sports cars including the MG RV8 in the 1990s, Triumph TR8, and various sports sedans and sports cars by the MG Rover Group and specialist manufacturers such as TVR and the Morgan Motor Company. The engine remains well-supported by enthusiast clubs, specialist parts suppliers, and by shops that specialize in conversions and tuning.
The 215 was also used in the Italian-American gran turismo Apollo in 1962-1963, as well as in the Asardo 3500 GM-S show car.
Although dropped by GM in 1963, the Rover V8 engine remained in production use for more than another 39 years, even longer on the aftermarket. GM tried to buy it back later on, but Rover declined, instead offering to sell engines back to GM. GM refused this offer.
In the mid-1980s, hot rodders discovered the 215 could be stretched to as much as 305 cu in (5 l), using the Buick 300 crankshaft, new cylinder sleeves, and an assortment of non-Buick parts.[5] It could also be fitted with high-compression cylinder heads from the Morgan Plus 8. Using the 5 liter Rover block and crankshaft, a maximum displacement of 317.8 cu in (5,208 cc) is theoretically possible.[6]
In 1964, Buick replaced the 215 with an iron-block engine of very similar architecture. The new engine had a bore of 3.750 in (95.3 mm) and a stroke of 3.40 in (86 mm) for a displacement of 300.4 cubic inches (4,923 cc). It retained the aluminum cylinder heads, intake manifold, and accessories of the 215 for a dry weight of 405 lb (184 kg). The 300 was offered in two-barrel form, with 9.0:1 compression, making 210 hp (160 kW) @ 4600 rpm and 310 lb·ft (420 N·m) @ 2400 rpm, and four-barrel form, with 11.0:1 compression, making 250 hp (190 kW) @ 4800 rpm and 335 lb·ft (454 N·m) @ 3000 rpm.
For 1965, the 300 switched to cast-iron heads, raising dry weight to 467 lb (212 kg), still quite light for a V8 engine of its era. The four-barrel option was cancelled for 1966, and the 300 was replaced entirely by the 350 in 1968.
The Apollo 5000 GT sports car, (also sold as the Vetta Ventura) used this engine.
The 340 cu in (5.6 L) 340 was a stroked to 3.85 in (98 mm)) version of the 300. It had a two- or four-barrel carburetor, the two-barrel with compression of 9 to 1 comp. ratio rated at 220 hp (160 kW) at 4000 rpm and 340 lb·ft (460 N·m) at 2400 rpm, and the four barrel with 10.25 to 1 comp. ratio, rated at 260 hp (190 kW) @ 4000 rpm and 365 lb·ft (495 N·m) @ 2800 rpm. It replaced the four-barrel 300 for 1966. It was produced only in 1966 and 1967, with the new Buick 350 taking its place after that.
Buick adopted the popular 350 cu in (5.7 L) size with their final family of V8s. Although sharing the displacement of the Chevrolet Small-Block engine family, the Buicks were substantially different.
The Buick 350 V8 had a 3.80 in (97 mm) bore (like the 231) and retained the 3.85 in (98 mm) stroke of the 340. It was introduced in 1968 and produced through 1980.
The major differences of the Buick 350 when compared to other GM V8's are deep skirt block construction, higher nickel-content cast iron, external oil pump, under square bore sizing, 3 in (76 mm) crank main journals, and 6.385 in (162.2 mm) connecting rods. It is an extremely rugged and durable engine[citation needed], and some of the design characteristics of the Buick 350 are found in other Buick-designed GM engines such as the 231 V6, and Series I, II, and III 3800 V6's.Also Buick engines distributor cap is in the front of the engine block.
Of all the GM 350-cubic-inch (5.7 L) engines, the Buick 350 has the longest stroke. It made the Buick 350 significantly wider than the other GM 350's — essentially the same width as the Buick big-blocks, which have the shortest stroke of the GM big-blocks. In fact, at a glance the Buick 350 is commonly mistaken for the 455 engine due to the oversized intake manifold atop the engine and conventional angled valve covers like a 400/430/455. The Buick 350 also shares an integrated aluminum timing cover as do most of the Buick small and big blocks which incorporates the oil pump mechanisms as well, leaving the oil filter exposed to oncoming air for added cooling.
The Buick 350 was used in the Jeep Gladiator and Wagoneer from 1968–71[citation needed], where it was known as the "Dauntless V8".
Buick "Big-Block"[edit]
The company introduced a larger engine family to replace the "Nailhead" in 1967 and was produced through 1976.
The 399.95-cubic-inch (6,554.0 cc) 400 was produced from 1967-1969. This engine had a bore of 4.04 in (103 mm) and a stroke of 3.90 in (99 mm). It was the only large V8 engine available for the A-body Buicks due to the GM cubic inch limit restriction prior to 1970. Most parts except the pistons interchange with the 430 and 455. This 400 engine had the distributor towards the front of the engine, as opposed to the 401 (nailhead) that had the distributor back near the firewall.
The 429.69-cubic-inch (7,041.4 cc) 430 was only produced from 1967 until 1969. This engine had a bore of 4.1875 in (106.36 mm) and a stroke of 3.90 in (99 mm). The 430-4 engine was rated at 360 hp (270 kW) and 475 lb·ft (643 N·m) of torque. This engine was used in B-, C- and E-body (large body) Buicks. Most parts except the pistons interchange with the 400 and 455.
The 455.19-cubic-inch (7,459.2 cc) 455 Buick V8 used a 4.31 in (109 mm) bore and a 3.90 in (99 mm) stroke. Most parts (except the pistons) interchange between the 400 and the 430. It was produced from 1970–1976 and was based on the 400/430 V8. The regular Buick 455 was rated at 350 hp (260 kW), while the 455 Stage 1 was rated at 360 hp (270 kW). The regular 455 produced a rated 510 lb·ft (690 N·m) of torque at 2800 rpm, more than any other muscle car engine. The horsepower was somewhat reduced in 1971 mainly due to the reduction in cylinder compression ratio, a change which was mandated by GM in order to cope with the introduction of new federal laws which would require new cars to use unleaded gasoline in an effort to reduce exhaust emissions. Then, starting in 1972, the horsepower rating on paper would be reduced again, down to approximately 250 hp (190 kW), this time due to the new measurement of horsepower as SAE net horsepower, rather than a gross horsepower rating. Tightening emissions controls would cause the engine to drop in power still further, a little at a time, through 1976.
The 455 was one of the first "thin-wall casting" engine blocks (at GM), and because of this advance in production technology it weighs significantly less than other engines of comparable size (for example, 150 lb (68 kg) less than a Chevrolet 454 and only 25 lb (11 kg) more than a Chevrolet 350).
Other GM V8s powering Buick vehicles[edit]
In the mid-1970s, GM was using powerplants sourced from various GM divisions where the Buick V8 was considered a factory option with the Buick 350 as the sole survivor, or in the worst case, for Buick vehicles where the 400/430/455 big blocks were phased out because of fuel economy/emission requirements.
The 260 cu in (4.3 L) 260 was an Oldsmobile V8 engine shared with Buick:
- 1975–1977 Buick Skylark
- Mid to Late 1970s Pontiacs used this motor also.
The 301 cu in (4.9 L) 301 was a Pontiac V8 engine shared with Buick.
The 305 cu in (5.0 L) was a Chevrolet V8 engine shared with Buick:
- 1978–1987 Buick Regal
- 1975–1979 Buick Skylark
The 307 cu in (5.0 L) was an Oldsmobile V8 engine shared with Buick:
- 1980–1985 Buick Lesabre
- 1980–1984 Buick Electra
- 1980–1985 Buick Riviera
- 1980–1990 Buick Estate Wagon
- 1986–1987 Buick Regal
The 403 cu in (6.6 L) was an Oldsmobile V8 engine shared with Buick:
- 1977 Buick Century Estate
- 1977–1979 Buick Riviera
- 1977–1979 Buick Electra
- 1977–1979 Buick Estate Wagon
- 1977–1979 Buick LeSabre

From the 1950s-1970s, each GM division had its own V8 engine family. Many were shared among other divisions, but each design is most-closely associated with its own division:
- Cadillac V8 engine
- Chevrolet Small-Block engine
- Chevrolet Big-Block engine
- Oldsmobile V8 engine
- Pontiac V8 engine
- Holden V8 engine
GM later standardized on the later generations of the Chevrolet design:
- GM LT engine — Generation II small-block
- GM LS engine — Generation III/IV small-block
